My wife and I have a small garden every summer that consists ofd squash, zucchinis, cucumbers, peppers, and tomatoes. We did not use a tiller to break up the ground but built boxes out ot 2X6's and each box is devoted to each vegetable. we plant about 9 of each...
And, we have a dehumidifier in the basement that pulls out the water from the moisture that we use to water our garden each day... do we save any money between using water from the city or buying electricity to operate the dehumidifier... not sure, and don't really care. With an abundance of squash, zucchini, and cucumbers, I have created (not from any recipe just off the top of my head as the mood strikes me) the following soups:
- Dice up 4-6 cumcumbers
- 1 large onion
- 1-2 large tablespoon of minched garlic
- a ton of coarse pepper
- 1 frozen package of spinach artichoke dip
- 1/2 cup of Ranch Dressing
Cook until soft then use a submersible mixer and blend until smooth.

- Dice up 3-5 middle size zucchini
- Dice up 3-5 yellow squash
- Dice up 1 large onion
- Chop up 1-2 cups of mushrooms
- 1-2 large tablespoons of minced garlic
- 1 jar of spaghetti sauce or pizza sauce
- 1 package of Ramen Noodles - beef flavored
Cook on low-medium heat in a large fying pan until veges are a little soft but not mushy. Pour in the sauce and cook for 20 minutes on low heat. Dump in noodles, cover, and cook for 15 minutes on low heat. Break noodles up until all are separated and stir around so that they are evenly divided among all the ingredients.
